Tens of thousands of spectators turned out in Dublin at the week-end to
view a fly past of almost thirty planes. It was a historic event as planes
representing almost every decade of Irish aviation flew as low as 800 ft over
the river Liffey. The planes represented the Irish Air Corps, Irish Coast Guard,
Spitfire ML407, Flying Fortress, C-130 Hercules, Hawker Hunter. Commercial airlines
were represented by Aer lingus, Cityjet, Ryanair, British Airways, Ethiad and FlyBe.The highlight of the day was the flypast
of the British Airways new double-decker superjumbo the Airbus A380

Spectators were amused at the special message from Ryanair painted on the undercarriage of their plane.
